Escape rooms are a motivating method for English lessons, in which students, either in small groups or individually, have to solve various puzzles (challenges) to determine the code needed to open a treasure chest (or another container). The puzzles in this escape room are designed for English lessons in grades 4 to 5. It is recommended to allocate 1-2 class periods for this activity.
The "A HALLOWEEN DISASTER - Escape Room" is very well suited for English lessons around Halloween. The content deals with various tasks that are thematically related to Halloween. The focus is primarily on building vocabulary. Additionally, reading skills, as well as writing skills (post-work), are practiced.
This puzzle is a vocabulary exercise. The students rearrange the jumbled letters from the “haunted houses” to form meaningful words. After, the found words must be sorted into three categories (things, costumes, and colours) to determine the number needed for the puzzle. This puzzle is differentiated and provided at two levels. In the easier version, letters are already provided in some of the puzzle boxes.

Escape rooms are a great way to organise a fun and meaningful lesson with students on topics such as Easter, Halloween or Christmas. But grammar topics can also be practised and consolidated very well with escape rooms! The advantage is that the concept of an escape room automatically motivates students and makes them open to solving tasks and exercises. You should plan 1-2 school hours to complete the unit.
